Chapter 93: Sparring
Lin Zhen returned home, and his parents pestered him for a long time to ask about Li Mengxi.
Lin Zhen firmly denied the matter and promised to solve the problem with his girlfriend as soon as possible, which made his parents let him go.
After returning home, Lin Zhen purchased liquid metal on his Neighbor Shop website at a price 10% higher than the market price.
He had wanted to do this for a long time. The current price of liquid metal is 200,000 per gram. Because it is only used by psychics, the market is not big. Those who need it treat it as a treasure, while those who don't need it treat it as weeds.
Except for the Ministry of Science and Technology and several major martial arts schools, more liquid metal is in private hands. Lin Zhen is now pricing it at RMB 220,000 per gram and purchasing it in large quantities.
If Lin Zhen wanted to use liquid metal to evolve a gun-shaped weapon, he would need at least 30 kilograms of liquid metal, and what he had in his hand was not enough.
After selling the first level of the Nine-Layered Gun River, Lin Zhen obtained 600 million yuan in funds. Together with the original 700 million yuan, Lin Zhen still had about 1.3 billion yuan in his hands. This amount of money was still a big gap for the purchase of liquid metal. Lin Zhen needed money now.
After setting up the stall for purchases, Lin Zhen took a look at the progress of the ordered Qi-enhancing potions.
The order stated that it would take three days to ship, which meant that in three days, Lin Zhen would have the basic conditions to advance to a general.
After closing the website, Lin Zhen rested at home for a night. Early the next morning, Lin Zhen got up and went to the hospital.
Shi Lei is still taking care of him in the hospital. Gao Yan has already gone back. Lin Zhen checked on Meng Dong and Zhao Liang. The two of them are already better. With the advanced level of modern medical care, they are now able to move freely indoors and will probably be discharged from the hospital in a few days.
Neither Meng Dong nor Zhao Liang had any intention of blaming Lin Zhen. Instead, they said that they had brought shame to Lin Zhen. This made Lin Zhen feel guilty, and he vowed to deal with Li Tianhao and his people.
After leaving the hospital, Lin Zhen went to the martial arts gym again. When he arrived at the gym, Lin Zhen found that there was a long queue in front of the gym, all of whom were there to sign up.
Gao Yan, who was not in the hospital, was in charge of reception. When he saw Lin Zhen, he said with a bitter face: "Lin Zhen, this is all your fault."
"Me? What's wrong with me?"
"It's because you performed so well that many young people wanted to join Liefeng. The martial arts hall was too busy to handle it, so I was transferred back from the hospital to help."
Lin Zhen took a look at the long line and found that all the people there were young people. When Lin Zhen appeared, there was even a commotion in the line.
"Look, Lin Zhen, that's Lin Zhen!"
"Wow! It's really Lin Zhen. He's so handsome in person. I finally see him alive this time."
"I joined Liefeng just for Lin Zhen. I feel so happy just thinking about being able to practice martial arts with Senior Brother Lin Zhen. It would be even better if we could team up to kill monsters together."
"My goal is to surpass Lin Zhen and become the new top warrior of Ice City, so I came here to get to know him better."
"You can't even beat me, and you still want to compete with Lin Zhen? You won't have a chance in your next life."
These young people were talking at once, but no one dared to step out and harass Lin Zhen. Liefeng's rules for recruiting people were very strict. You couldn't just sign up and join. There were two or three hundred people queuing here, but it was estimated that no more than twenty people would be selected in the end.
Gao Yan wanted to ask Lin Zhen to come over to help, but Lin Zhen waved his hand: "Old Gao, you should just focus on your own work. I still need to practice. I am an elite now. Do you know what an elite means? It means those who only practice martial arts but don't work, hehe."
Gao Yan curled his lips and said, "Okay, hurry up and practice, Elite. I, Old Gao, have the hardship of having to clean up your mess here."
Lin Zhen laughed twice, turned around and entered the martial arts hall.
After entering the room, some people from the martial arts gym saw Lin Zhen and greeted him.
"Here comes Lin Zhen. You look good today."
"Brother Lin, I want to give up swordplay and learn spearmanship. Do you think I have a future?"
"Good morning, Brother Lin. You are wearing a very smart outfit. Where did you buy it? Tell me so I can buy one too."
Lin Zhen lowered his head and looked at the martial arts uniform on his body, somewhat speechless. Among martial artists, only those with strength will be respected. At this time, Lin Zhen was already a star figure in the martial arts gym.
Some warriors at the general level also greeted Lin Zhen with a smile. Although Lin Zhen was still at the peak of his warrior level, no one doubted that Lin Zhen had the strength of a general.
Oftentimes, the focus of discussion is whether Lin Zhen has the strength of a junior general or a mid-level general.
As for the discussion of warrior level, Lin Zhen is no longer involved.
A level 3 warrior named Li Huainian said to Lin Zhen on the stage: "Lin Zhen, do you want to come up and play? We are all looking forward to seeing your gun skills."
Near the arena in the martial arts hall, many general-level warriors spar with each other, but they never invite warrior-level warriors to the stage, because winning would be an unfair victory.
It can be said that Lin Zhen is the first person to receive this honor, which also means that these generals have regarded Lin Zhen as someone with equal strength to them.
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, let's have some fun."
Seeing Lin Zhen about to go on stage, Li Huainian hurriedly said to the people around him: "Hey! You all go wait downstairs, Lin Zhen and I will practice."
The other warriors were also eager to try. For those who practice martial arts, sparring with a master is a very rare experience, but Li Huainian got there first, so they couldn't compete.
Lin Zhen came on stage, took out the Black Dragon Spear, and said to Li Huainian: "Brother Li, let's have a little gamble."
"What's the bet? I'm not a rich man, don't try to trick me." Li Huainian was a little wary. Lin Zhen loved to gamble and always won. He didn't want to be fooled. Although he was very conceited, he was not completely sure that he could defeat Lin Zhen.
"Haha! Our stakes are very small. I've been practicing defense recently. If Brother Li can knock me out of this circle within five minutes, I'll treat him to lunch. If Brother Li can't do it, how about you treat him?" Lin Zhen said as he drew a circle with a diameter of about one meter on the ring.
When Li Huainian heard that Ying was just treating them to a meal, he immediately felt relieved. How much does a meal cost? Even if it cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, it would be a piece of cake for these warriors.
"Lin Zhen, you are getting bolder and bolder. You are so confident in yourself. Okay, it's settled. If I can't get you out of this circle, you can choose any restaurant in Bingcheng today!"
As Li Huainian spoke, he took out two golden maces from behind him. These were his weapons.
"Don't say that Brother Li is bullying you. Although you are still at the warrior level, I'm afraid your strength has surpassed Brother Li, so my victory is not unfair. Haha, here I come!"
Dantian Qi circulated, Li Huainian kicked the ground with his feet, and in one step he came in front of Lin Zhen, smashing down on his head with his left hand golden mace! Lin Zhen was not in a hurry, he blocked Li Huainian's attack with both hands.
Li Huainian also had a backup plan. He used the golden mace in his right hand to hit Lin Zhen's calf, thinking that it would make Lin Zhen panic for a while, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhen's gun would easily dissolve his carefully prepared second attack with a swipe.
Li Huainian smiled, and swept the two golden maces up and down at the same time. He was very proficient in these three consecutive moves, and his movements were secretive. He believed that this attack was enough to make Lin Zhen take a step back.
But Lin Zhen raised his spear and swung it left and right like lightning, neutralizing his attack.
"good!"
Many warriors below the ring cheered and applauded. Lin Zhen's resistance was indeed brilliant, but most people did not think that Lin Zhen could really block Li Huainian's attack without counterattacking.
After three moves, Li Huainian became cautious, swung the golden mace in his hand, and began a swift attack.
Lin Zhen remained calm, sat on his horse with his back lowered, and swung the Black Dragon Spear in his hand up and down. Without even trying to fight back, he actually managed to block Li Huainian's overwhelming attack!
"This Lin's defense is really too strong!"
The warriors in the audience were just watching the excitement at first, but as they watched, they found that Lin Zhen's spear defense was absolutely flawless. No matter how hard Li Huainian tried, he actually defended the three-foot radius without even moving his feet! Lin Zhen held the spear in his hand, wielding it with dignity, and Li Huainian became more and more frightened as the fight went on. Lin Zhen gave him the feeling of an unreachable mountain that reached into the sky, making him feel that there was absolutely no possibility of knocking Lin Zhen down.
As soon as this feeling of futility appeared, Li Huainian's momentum weakened and he was about to lose confidence.
Lin Zhen didn't think so much. He had just realized the state of being as still as a mountain and came to the martial arts gym to find someone to practice with. In Lin Zhen's opinion, these general-level warriors of Liefeng were the best sparring partners.
